Fall Must-Have Accessories

Now that the weather is finally starting to cool down, I think it's time to get ready for fall! Here's a list of my fall must-have accessories. Enjoy.

First up is this gray nail polish from OPI. It from their Touring America Collection and is called French Quarter for Your Thoughts. I just can't seem to get enough of gray, even on my nails. And this shade is perfect for fall.

Next on my list are these vintage inspired earrings from Banana Republic. They have just enough detail to give your ears a little more pizzazz than a normal diamond stud, and they look great with every outfit. Seriously. I've worn them with lounge t-shirts and with dresses. Plus, at only $29.50, you can't go wrong (I got mine when they were running a deal of 30% off all jewelry, so keep your eye out for another sale!)

Also from Banana, we have these leopard flats (called Anna by BR). Yes, that's right folks. I found the new pair of leopard flats I was searching for here. These babies are priced at $89.00, but I got mine during another promotion for 30% off. Well worth it! Leopard is great because it goes with every color-black, brown, red, green, blue--you name it. These are definitely a must-have. And oh-so comfortable (the padding has memory foam)!

And last but not least, I bring to you an item by one of my favorites in fashion biz, Michael Kors. This man knows how to do a watch and do it right (three of the other watches I own are by him as well). So naturally when it was time for a new silver watch, he was my man. And this is the one I brought home. I love the mix of the steel and rose gold and the little sparkle of the crystals. I am usually found sporting gold jewelry, but ever since I've gotten this one, I haven't wanted to take it off.

Happy fall, y'all!

Tomorrow I'm going to show you all of the crazy deals I got at Michael's today!

Canopy Stripes

As I mentioned in a previous post, black and white canopy striped fabric is one of my current obsessions. It's classic, clean and oh so elegant. Not to mention that it can make a bold statement in a room without being too flashy. I normally favor a very neutral color palette with accents of greens and robin's egg blues, and this pattern could be put in any such setting and be beautiful. Here a few of my favorite examples: Is this room spectacular or what? It's modern, classic and sophisticated! There is a large amount of stripes in this room, yet it's not overbearing. And the symmetry and clean lines displayed throughout give the room great balance. I could just plop this room right into my house! This is another example (as shown in a previous entry). If you don't have the money to invest in a rug, buy a few pillows and get the same look in your room for a fraction of the price. Whoever said black and brown don't go together was seriously mistaken. Lo

Southern Gentleman Baby Shower

Last month I helped throw my best friend (we met in 9th grade speech class :)) Lauren's baby shower for her soon-to-arrive baby boy, Gunner. The shower had a "Southern gentleman" theme complete with bow ties, silhouettes and gingham print. Personal touches and family items were used throughout, including baby Gunner's dad's bow ties :) Gunner's daddy's "going home" outfit greeted guests at the sign in table, along with a framed "Southern gentleman in the making" print. A variety of centerpieces graced the tables with groupings of baby mementos, flowers and photos. An antique baby basket helped house the gifts. The drink menu consisted of milk, apple juice (one of Lauren's cravings), fruit-infused water and coffee. The menu was made of a variety of brunch goodies including fruit, doughnuts, muffins, shrimp and grits, breakfast casserole and a waffle bar. And of course no shower is comp

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona). But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl
